RETURN OF THE VIKINGS

Win the opportunity to be the 1st family to visit the newly re-launched JORVIK Viking Centre

The year is AD960 and the last Viking King in Jorvik, Eric Bloodaxe, has been banished. The city is thriving with a flourishing manufacturing centre and wide trading links. There are new buildings, new peoples and new stories to be told...

The world-famous JORVIK Viking Centre will reopen on Saturday 8th April 2017 after a multi-million pound re-imagining following the devastating flooding in 2015.

Hop aboard JORVIK’s improved ride experience and be transported back in time over 1,000 years! You will discover the impact of international trade on Viking-Age York, including the evolution of a multicultural society in the city, as it’s not just trade goods that flowed into Jorvik but people from across the globe! Plus, with 22 new animatronics across the recreation there is something new to see around every corner.

The centre’s gallery experiences have been completely updated, with new display cases allowing you to get up close to the astounding Viking artefacts that inspired the creation of JORVIK. You will have the chance to dig deeper into the Viking story of York using the latest in cutting-edge technology located throughout the centre.

Join the action during the opening weekend (8th to 9th April) as Coppergate Square will be taken over by the Vikings of JORVIK to celebrate the 'Return of the Vikings'.

There will be special combat demonstrations, dramatic retellings of the Sagas and you will be transported back in time when you hear beautiful Viking-inspired music. Plus, keep the little ones entertained with some hilarious Viking games and competitions and Norse crafting activities.
